Motorov Alexey and his books

Several years ago, books appeared on the shelves of bookstores that told about the life of Dr. Parovozov. Written in a living language, based on real facts from the author’s life, they quickly won the love of readers, and he deservedly became the winner of the audience’s prize in 2013.

A little bit about the writer

Alex was born in Moscow in 1963. Parents are both chemists. The writer’s grandmother worked as a teacher, published in magazines, corresponded with Prishvin. Thanks to her efforts, Alexei learned to read at three years old, at six - to play the guitar.

In the seventh grade, he participated in a school ensemble and dreamed of entering a real stage. Two years later, accidentally fell into a pioneer camp at the medical institute, and the dream came true - all summer he was the solo guitarist of the local ensemble. He immediately decided on the choice of a future profession - he decided to become a doctor.

Motorov Alexey graduated from the Medical Institute. Sechenov. He worked in the medical field all his life - as a nurse in intensive care, a urologist, an employee of a pharmaceutical company.

How it all began?

It all started with correspondence on social networks with a former colleague - a nurse, with whom he once worked in intensive care. She moved to Germany, didn’t come to Russia anymore, and, of course, when she found Alexey in Odnoklassniki, she asked many questions, including about life in the country. From the answers of the former doctor, the Steam Locomotives “grew up”.

So, exclusively for loved ones, at the age of 50 he began to write memoirs. Unexpectedly for the author, the manuscript somehow got to Chicago, to a completely unfamiliar woman. She found Alexey in the social network, wrote that she really liked what he read, and persistently urged him to take the manuscript to the publishing house.

Sincerely believing that the revelations of the medical worker could not be of interest to anyone, Alexei was in no hurry, but once she managed to convince him, and he promised to send memoirs to the editor. “The word needs to be kept,” Alexey Motorov is sure. He spoke with a friend working in the publishing house and asked who could be shown the manuscript?

Unexpected success

The manuscript of Alexei came to the editor-in-chief of the Corpus Publishing House. Ten days later, the former doctor received a call from the editorial office and was informed that the manuscript interested them, they undertook to publish it. So the book "The Young Years of Nurse Parovozov" was published. The circulation was sold out in two months, the book received good reviews from critics, was reprinted five times, and there were several proposals for a film adaptation.

In February 2013, the author of the book won the online poll and won the NOS Prize in Audience Award. “If the first book did not go, I would not have decided on the second,” says Alexey. But she appeared, the hero in her is the same, but already matured. Of course, the book is not as fun as the first, because the duration of the action is not the 80s, but the 90s. Readers were surprised, but overall the book was warmly received.

Reader Reviews

“Young years of the nurse Parovozov”, released in 2013, is a sincere novel about the everyday life of a medical worker. The book is imbued with sincere love for his work. From it you will learn not only about the dedication and courage of doctors, but also about their mistakes, for which the patient’s life often becomes a price. Motorov Alexey juicy and vividly prescribed his heroes, sketches of medical everyday life are diluted with episodes from childhood, paintings from the main character’s daily life, which cannot be admired. Deciding to become a doctor, he stubbornly went to his dream, graduated from a medical school, worked as a nurse and a massage therapist, and from year to year he passed exams at the medical institute. As a result, after five failed admission, he becomes a student.

The second book, Crime of Dr. Parovozov, turned out to be no less interesting. Of course, in the first there are moments where it is impossible not to laugh to tears, in the second it is told about the 90s, when many, including the hero of the book, had to work two or even three jobs to feed their families. Patients with gunshot wounds, bandits breaking into hospitals, huge lines for half-rotten potatoes, battles for soup sets - this is no laughing matter. The ugliness, danger and unsettled perestroika time turned out to be not so repulsive for the author. One thing is good - the past is behind us, and the youth that Alexey Motorov talks about is good at all times.
